Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 693 - 668: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age (Part 2)
"You’re such a cautious person, how can you be so careless? I asked you to search yourself, and you did. I won’t blame you," Xia Luo said, taking the initiative to hold Zhan Yunxiao’s hand and place it on her waist.
However, Zhan Yunxiao only left it there briefly before quickly removing it.
His ears involuntarily began to turn red, and with a stern face, he said, "Let’s go inside!"
Xia Luo gave a bitter smile and had no choice but to go in with him.
Sure enough, as Zhan Yunxiao said, Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan did not make things difficult for her.
They only asked about the wedding process, the necessary items, and what they needed to do.
Xia Luo felt quite embarrassed, remaining constrained throughout.
During the meal, she dared not touch her chopsticks.
It was still Ye Ningwan who proactively served her dishes: "Don’t be so restrained, you’re getting married to Xiao soon, and you’ll be part of the family after that."
"Thank you, Auntie," Xia Luo expressed her gratitude.
Zhan Yunxiao, sitting the side, said gruffly, "You can start calling her mom in the future."
His words startled the three people present.
Especially Ye Ningwan and Xia Luo.
The two of them looked at each other, surprised that Zhan Yunxiao would say such a thing.
"Actually, there’s no need to rush to change what you call her, whenever you feel comfortable, you can do it," Ye Ningwan said to ease the awkwardness, taking initiative to speak for Xia Luo.
Xia Luo nodded with a bitter smile.
Indeed, even though the Zhan Family seemed to accept her, it was mostly for Zhan Yunxiao’s sake, not wanting him to be upset.
In truth, they were still unwilling to accept her inside.
She understood.
Someone like her, even if she were Ye Ningwan, she wouldn’t accept herself either.
This meal was extremely awkward.
After dinner, Zhan Yunxiao invited Xia Luo to stay for tea.
Zhan Hanjue, however, said, "You two chat at home, your mom and I have to go now."
Ye Ningwan quickly looked at Zhan Hanjue, wondering what business he had to leave for.
Zhan Hanjue just gave her a knowing look.
Ye Ningwan had no choice but to explain to Zhan Yunxiao and Xia Luo that she really had something to attend to and left with Zhan Hanjue.
"I have to go to the company’s website, but I don’t feel safe leaving you alone at home."
After leaving, Zhan Hanjue finally shared his thoughts.
Ye Ningwan, speechless, replied, "I’m not a child. And besides, Xia Luo is here to discuss marriage matters, not anything else. Why should you be worried? I’ve already been caught off guard once, am I going to fall into the same pit twice? This behavior will make the young girl uncomfortable and think we are still wary of her."
Zhan Hanjue replied, "We are indeed cautious of her, she should be aware of that herself. In any case, I’m leaving, and you must leave with me. I can’t rest easy leaving you here alone."
Saying this, he firmly grabbed her hand and led her out.
Ye Ningwan was helpless and could only leave with him.
Zhan Yunxiao explained to Xia Luo: "Don’t misunderstand, my parents mean no harm."
"I didn’t misunderstand," Xia Luo shook her head, "I can understand them."
"What would you like to drink?" Zhan Yunxiao asked.
Xia Luo shook her head. At this moment, she had no appetite for anything and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Can I leave now?" After sitting awkwardly for a moment, Xia Luo looked up and asked.
Zhan Yunxiao showed a dissatisfied look: "Just staying with me for a bit longer, is it so unwilling? Did you stay like this when you dated Fang Qingyang?"
"How could it be the same? With Yang, it was much more relaxed than it is now," Xia Luo retorted softly, head down.
What she said was true.
Being with Fang Qingyang was always relieving, a relationship more akin to friendship despite being a couple.
Yet when she was with Zhan Yunxiao, she felt very tense, even if nothing was said, the air was filled with tension.
"What do I have to do so you’re not nervous around me?" Zhan Yunxiao asked with a stern face.
Xia Luo looked up at him, thinking, your expression alone makes me nervous.
"Actually, you don’t have to do anything, since we’re only pretending to be married," Xia Luo said softly.
"Stand up, I want to show you something," Zhan Yunxiao said, standing up.
Xia Luo nodded and stood up, looking at him: "What do you want to show me?"
"Follow me," Zhan Yunxiao led the way to his room.
Xia Luo had no choice but to follow him, walking through a tranquil path before arriving at his room.
The old Zhan Family house was built with classic style, so Zhan Yunxiao’s room was similarly decorated with such elegance, with a faint fragrant scent as soon as you entered.
The furniture in the room was mostly made of high-quality rosewood.
